  2. Mode of Assessment • The assessment will consist of two written papers and an individual coursework assignment. The allocation of marks and the duration are as follows: • Paper 1 (core module) 60% 2 hours • Paper 2 (elective module) 20% 1 hour • Paper 3 (coursework) 20%

  3. Candidates are required to choose one of the following elective modules: • Algorithm and Programming • Organisation of Computer • Data Communications and Networking • Multimedia Production and Web Authoring

  4. Paper 1 • Paper 1 consists of two sections, A and B. • Section A will consist of multiple-choice questions, all of which are to be attempted. • Section B will consist of 5 questions, all of which are to be attempted. Both sections will cover the syllabus in the core module.

  5. Paper 2 • Paper 2 consists of 4 questions, all of which are to be attempted. • All questions will cover the syllabus in the elective modules that candidates choose.

  6. Paper 3 • Paper 3 is an individual coursework assignment. Candidates are required to choose an assignment from a list issued by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority during the year before the examination according to their chosen elective module. • They are required to produce a report which will demonstrate their ability to analyse a problem and so identify requirements, and to make appropriate use of knowledge in the elective module in providing solutions which they will design, implement, test and evaluate. • The assignments will be assessed continuously and marked internally by school teachers, and the assessment will be moderated by the chief

  7. Material to be covered in S4 • Computer and Information Technology (Volume 1) • Section 1

  8. Material to be covered in S4 • Computer and Information Technology (Volume 2) • Section 3 • Section 4 • Section 5

  9. Section 1 • What is IT? • Application of IT • Data and Information • Application software • Effective Presentation

  10. Section 3 • Internet technology • Internet activities • Web Authoring

  11. Section 4 • Problem solving procedures • Programming Languages • Programming concepts

  12. Section 5 • Legal and ethical issues • Social impact • Impact of upcoming technologies • Computer and Internet Securities

  13. Section 1 Information processing and presenation

  14. Information Technology • The technology used to create, store, exchange, and use information • Mainly computer technology • Also, communication, audio, video, etc.

  15. Why computer? • Speed • Reliability • Accuracy • Storage capacity • Communication ability

  16. Application of IT • Clothing • Eating and food • Housing • Transportation • Finance and commerce • Communications • Education

  17. Application of IT • Science • Health and Medicine • Law enforcement • Government • Robotics

  18. Chapter 2 Data and Information

  19. Data • Raw data • Example – 19740729 • Meaningless if not organised or being understood

  20. Information • Processed data • Organised, meaningful and useful • Used in decision making

  21. Data & Information Data current time, Time that school startswhen you wake up processing Information How much time you have to get ready for school

  22. Data representation in computer • A computer is a binary machine • A computer can only understand 0 and 1 • Data are stored in computer in term of binary digit (bit)

  23. Number system • A number system consists of a set of digits • The number of digits in the set is known as the base of the system • Example –the base of the binary system is the base of the decimal system is

  24. Place value • In 1974(10) • 4 represent 4 x 100 • 7 represent 7 x 101 • 9 represent 9 x 102 • 1 represent 1 x 103

  25. Exercise • In 1974(8) • 4 represent • 7 represent • 9 represent • 1 represent • The decimal value of 1974(8)

  26. Conversion • From decimal to binary • Repeated division

  27. Conversion between binary, octal and Hexadecimal • Each octal digit corresponds to __ binary digits • Each hexadecimal digit corresponds to __ binary digits

  28. Bits and Bytes • In computer, basic unit of storage is byte • One byte = 8 bits

  29. ASCII • American standard code for information interchange • Each ASCII code = an 8-bit binary code • Used to store letter, digit, symbol and control character in computer

  30. Chinese characters • 8 bits can represent 28 different codes • There are more than 10,000 Chinese character • Two bytes are used to represent codes

  31. Database Approach Database file file file record record record field field character character character

  32. Key field • Key field or primary key • Used to identify the records in a table • Must have a unique key value

  33. Data collection • Direct input • Manual input

  34. Source of errors • Data source errors • Transcription errors • Transposition errors

  35. 3.2 Data verification • Checking the accuracy of data that has been copied from one medium to another • Done at data preparation or data input stage • Methods of verification • Even if the data have been entered accurately (verified), the data may still be invalid because the source documents contain errors

  36. 3.3 Data validation • Checking of data before they are processed • Ensure data are valid and acceptable for processing

  37. Validation • Presence check – to make sure that data are present • Range check – To make sure that the data lie within a certain range. Also called reasonableness check • Data type check

  38. Validation • Consistency check – checking of data by comparing them with previous data • Control total – also called batch total. Calculated to ensure no data are missing. • Hash total – similar to control total, but the total calculated has no meaning

  39. Validation • Check digit – extra digit appended to a code consisting of a series of numbers or characters • Calculated from the series of numbers • Used to validate HKID card no., bar codes, bank account no.

  40. Modulo 11 check • Divide the code by 11 and use the remainder as the check digit • Does not pick up transposition errorsboth 526328 and 536228 are correct code

  41. Weighted modulo 11 check • Overcome weakness in modulo 11 check • Each digit in the code is multiplied by a weight before the calculation of reminder

  42. Processing data • Searching • Linear search • Binary search • Index search • Sorting • Bubble sort • Merging

  43. Processing information • Reorganization – output the information in other format for use in other situation • Conversion – produce new information • Example – Final exam mark = 0.7 x exam mark + 0.3 x homework mark

  44. Communication and Transmission • Communication • Transmission • Compression • Parity check

  45. Mode of processing • Batch processing • Real-time processing

  46. Chapter 4 Effective Presentation

  47. Multimedia Elements • Text • Sound • Graphics • Animations • Videos

  48. Planning for presentation • Time constraints • Tools • Compatibility • Activities?

  49. Selecting appropriate information • Topic • Contents

  50. Organizing information • Refining – logical sequence, sections • Interactivity
